Whilst riding the 36" on a local disused railway track that passes
through Rugby, a couple were walking ahead, with a small pooch. I
gave considerable vocal advanced warning of my imminent approach, so
what did they do ? The couple split either side of the narrow pathway
leaving said pooch smack in the middle and simply gazed (I guess in
surprise rather than in admiration of my rakish good looks - ha!), so
to avoid causing pain and suffering to the dog, and a possible kicking
from the owners (she looked particularly hard) I executed a running
dismount at the edge of my sprinting capability and skidded to a halt
just inches from crushing the nearly unfortunate ugly beast ( and the
dog ).
yesterday almost the same thing happened to me on my 29".
the dog was small and I could have run over it and just get a small
shquish.it went to the left then to the right then to the left and I was
pretty sure to get it: so I dismounted.
the lady supposedly in charge did'nt even hear my warning, gave me a
blank stare, and went her way . I was wondering wether she was deaf and
dumb or just happened to land from another parallel world.
